  • Transparent access to multi-temperature data
    Patent number: 10838926
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for providing transparent access to multi-temperature data are disclosed. A query for accessing data is received. The query includes at least one selection parameter for retrieval of data. The data is stored in a plurality of partitions of a database system. Each partition has a maximum data value per column, a minimum data value per column, and a predetermined date associated with the data contained in the partition. A determination is made whether at least one selection parameter is greater than the minimum data value per column and less than the maximum data value per column. The queried data is retrieved from the partition using the predetermined date associated with the data contained in the partition.

  • Managing a material batch
    Patent number: 8090631
    Abstract: Inventory may be managed by affixing to material batches respective documentary batch numbers that are associated with the material batches in a computer system. The material batches may be placed as inventory in a warehouse. The documentary batch number of any of the material batches that is removed from the warehouse may be registered, wherein the documentary batch numbers are not used in managing the inventory. A material batch may be managed by affixing to the material batch a documentary batch number that is associated with the material batch in a computer system. Upon a predetermined action being taken with regard to the material batch, the documentary batch number may be received in the computer system. The documentary batch number may be read from the material batch, wherein any action taken with regard to the material batch before receiving the documentary batch number upon the predetermined action is not tracked.
